Marion Pinaffo and RaphaΓ«l PluvinageΒ are French designers with a penchant for things that make a spark.

Their recent project is a series of geometric posters that when lit, create a choreographed pyrotechnic display. Using special fire-resistant paper, the posters look good on their own. But the path of the embedded gunpowder gives the artwork a whole new dimension. Β A user lights the designs on one end, and can watch as the fireworks follow the design’s path, resulting in series of sparks, pops, and miniature explosions.

Sounds like the perfect gift for the discerning designer/fireworks fan in your life.

Via Colossal:

“Each poster is a little spectacle printed on paper. Combining several pyrotechnic powders, β€œAffiches Artifices” is a series of 12 poster.”

Often times people don’t remember that they too are part of nature. It’s all around us, it binds us, and despite our built environments, nature still touches all things. Artist Jing Zhang has a really nice series of posters exploring Nature and Us, using human body shapes to illustrate some of the ways our environments are changing, and the ways humans are effecting them. The beautiful illustrations also include many call-outs about how we can be better stewards of the natural world. Via Behance:

Nature and Us, is a personal study and graphical project that I have been working on, started in the background of 2018 summer, the hottest joint summer in UK’s record. We’re facing the biggest environmental challenge our generation has ever seen. Climate change is impacting on many of the things we love and cherish. It’s changing the seasons, upsetting the crops that feed us, and affecting precious species. The following are several topics on Water resources, Forest, Agriculture, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Green Footprint, how human activities and the nature impact each other.

Montreal artist and designerΒ Simon L’ArchevΓͺqueΒ has a lovely new series of posters that showcase seasonal fruits and veggies, as well as a great array of sustainable fish and seafood, and their type. Beautifully illustrated, the posters would look great in a home. You can also use the posters to brush up on your French vocabulary.Β Via the artist:

Cette affiche prΓ©sente des espΓ¨ces issues de pΓͺche durable ainsi que la pΓ©riode pendant laquelle elles se trouvent sur nos Γ©tals.

In response to our joke of a president pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, we’re going to post stories this week about climate change, and the ways in which protecting our planet is good for everything. If you’re smart, green investments can be highly lucrative, while also protecting our fragile planet, as it goes through it’s toughest test in millennia.

Luckily, there are smart and talented people from all over the world working to solve this enormous problem. ArtistΒ Florent HauchardΒ from Paris has a beautiful poster for theΒ Fondation BNP PARIBAS. Dynamic and full of great colorful detail, Hauchard pays tribute to air, land, and sea. Below you can see some of the poster’s aspects in greater detail, and get a sense for how the whole thing came together. Via Behance.

A gorgeous and powerful campaign for environmental group Robin Wood features brilliantly rendered scenes of habitat destruction, superimposed in the form of the creatures they’re hurting. Β The agencyΒ Grabarz & Partner created the posters using painstakingly rendered 3D forms, and adding in details like oil rigs, fires, and industrial machinery. Their tagline: Destroying nature is destroying life. The result is a painfully effective look at what happens to the natural world when humans act with indifference and greed toward nature. Beautiful and sad work,Β Via Behance:

A self-made internet icon, Olly Moss is a graphic artist with an eye for vintage movie art and posters. His work looks effortless, and he has a very clever sense of wordplay and image manipulation.

Here are three posters he made, in honor of the original Star Wars trilogy. Simple, striking and for a fellow Star Wars dork, awesome.
